Indonesia 0:3 Vietnam: AFF Championship Match Result

Match report

Vietnam secured a comprehensive 3-0 victory over Indonesia at the AFF Championship Group Stage match played on 3 August 2026. The result settles the group standings in favour of the visitors, who took control before the interval and extended their advantage when the game opened up. Indonesia had entered the fixture on a run of three straight wins, but this performance told a different story.

The opening exchanges paid for a sloppy start. Nguyen Van Vi struck after six minutes, and Nguyen Hai Long doubled the lead nine minutes later. And here's the thing — Indonesia controlled possession at 58 per cent but created only three big chances compared to Vietnam's five. The home side's shots on target totalled just three, while the visitors converted six attempts with greater precision.

By then Indonesia had already conceded two goals without responding. Rafaelson added a third in the 71st minute, and the scoreboard reflected a match decided in the first half. The statistics showed Indonesia dominated territory — 561 passes to 409 — but penetration into the final third told another tale. Nine key passes against Vietnam's nine suggested neither side could quite unlock the other's defence.

Yellow cards for T. Haye in the 31st minute and I. Jenner in the 75th marked the only disciplinary action. Substitutions came in waves: Geovane and R. Oratmangoen for Indonesia, while Vietnam brought on Nguyen Van Vi, M. Lee Baker and Nguyen Hoang Duc. I. Jenner's late substitution in the 90th minute+2 closed the book on an afternoon where Indonesia had no answer to Vietnam's efficiency.

To be fair, the result mirrors a pattern Vietnam has shown recently — seven goals against Timor-Leste and four against Myanmar in the same month. Indonesia's defeat leaves them third in the group, while the visitors move clear at the top. Cup football has its own rules, and this one went to the side that took its chances.
